Nevertheless, Daemon was not angry.He merely regarded Derila with a smile, and his gaze was filled with pride.
Although he did not say it out loud, he felt really pleased.
See, that's my woman! The constant flattery started to make Derila feel cocky.
Snuggling in Daemon's arms, she giggled non-stop and forgot about her plan to escape.
When the car returned to the Lierger residence, she was struck by a sudden realization.
Oh no, I'm back in this cage! It would be impossible to escape now! Beep! Beep! Suddenly, Daemon's phone buzzed.He glanced at his phone's screen and answered the call.
"Hi!"
The person on the other end of the line said something, and a crease appeared between Daemon's eyebrows.
After a moment's silence, he muttered coldly, "Mr.President, I'm going to Aymo City to settle some personal matters.The members of the Giblo family and the Lierger family are sworn enemies, so how could both families form an alliance?"
The president was different from Frank.He was amiable and spoke in a calm tone.
Moreover, he kept persuading Daemon.
As a result, it was impossible for Daemon to be angry at the president.
Still, he refused to compromise.
"I'll head there for sure.If anything else arises, we'll talk about it again once I'm back!"
The president did not give up.
"Daemon, the issue has become the talk of the town.Frank is a force to be reckoned with.Although we have dirt on him, it'll be very difficult for me to take him down on my own if you don't attend the trial.This is a crucial moment, and you mustn't be absent.Can't you hold off your personal matters for two more days? If you really must attend to them, you can assign someone to do it for you.I can also send someone over to help you.Plus, I can even seek help from Solarain.As long as you stay, the other matters can be settled easily..."
The president's words sounded like a plea, and Daemon found it hard to reject him.He frowned and felt troubled.
"Take care of the important matters" Derila said.
She might not understand Erihalean, but she was aware of what was going on.
Right now, Frank's trial was an urgent issue.
The only person who could make Daemon answer the phone and feel troubled was the president.
"Just let me spend a few days alone, and don't be so clingy.I'll return to Aymo City myself.Perhaps, I might even locate that famous doctor"
Derila eyed Daemon, as if she did not want him to bother her.
"Mr.Lierger, I can accompany Ms.Feroma on her return.Don't worry.We'll take good care of her!" Charles said hastily.
"That is, we'll head back first, and you can come over once you've settled your business"
Derila added, "Don't delay it because of me.Otherwise, I would be the one to blame"
"All right."
Daemon finally gave in and promised the president that he would attend the trial.He told Derila, "I'll come over after I send Derila off at the airport tomorrow."
"Great, I'll wait for you."
The president was overjoyed.
"Please send my regards to Ms.Riri and express my gratitude!"
"Okay."
Once the call had ended, Daemon pinched Derila's chin and warned her sternly, "We'll get you treated, and don't ever think of running away again.Got it?"
"Got it" Derila replied.
As soon as she answered him, she was stunned by her own reaction.She did not expect herself to be so decisive.
Do I really want to stay? But if I don't leave, I'll have to marry him.
As she thought of that, Derila felt melancholic, and her head started to hurt again.
Back at the castle, Daemon carried Derila back to her room and reminded Norah to look after her.
Then, he went to his study room.He still had some unfinished business to sort out.
Apart from Frank, he also had to deal with the other three families.
Norah instructed a maid to run a bath for Derila and help the latter to bathe and change her clothes.
After having dinner in her room, Derila lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.She was too exhausted and wanted to sleep when Layla phoned up.
"Derila, how are you?"
"I'm fine.Where are you, Layla?"
Derila woke up.
